Both teams begin conference play later this week. Jonesville travels to Homer for a Big 8 game Thursday, while the Hornets visit Dundee for their first Lenawee County Athletic Association game Friday.

"Dundee is going to pressure us to death," Felix said. "Our guards have to play well. They have some size to match up with us."
